Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in the actual Zone of Silence in northern Mexico, where radio signals mysteriously fail and meteorites cluster. Laforet insisted on location authenticity despite equipment headaches.
The Zone (Zona del Silencio) sits near the same latitude as the Bermuda Triangle and Giza pyramids—conspiracy theorists love this, but the film weaponizes the mythology rather than endorsing it.
